Resumo: OBJECTIVE: Low visual acuity (VA) is an important public health problem due to its high prevalence and because it needs early diagnosis in order to prevent damage in childhood development and apprenticeship. To describe and analyze low visual acuity (VA) prevalence among school children METHODS: Once performed the VA test to 1st and 4th grades primary school children data were analyzed by separating students according to sex, school grade, wearing of glasses, residence area and level of access to the supplementary medical assistance (SMA). RESULTS: The total of 9,640 students was evaluated during the year of 2000 and they presented a prevalence of low VA of 13.1% (CI 12.5-13.8%). There was a statistical significant lower prevalence in males (11.5%) compared to females (14.9%) - (PR=0.77). There was a statistical significant higher prevalence in 1st grade students (14.1%) compared to 4th grade (11.5%) - (PR=1.22). There was also a statistical significant lower prevalence for those who were not wearing glasses (12.1%) compared to those who were using glasses (42.0%) - (PR=0.29). Concerning to residence areas, Cajuru neighborhood had the lower prevalence of low VA (1.8%) and Vila Sabia neighborhood had the higher prevalence (32.4%), and a positive correlation, according to residence area, between the proportion of people with access to the Supplementary Medical Assistance and the proportion of children wearing glasses was found (r=0.64, p

O estudo realizado objetivou descrever e analisar a prevalência de baixa acuidade visual em escolares da rede de ensino fundamental. MÉTODOS: A partir do diagnóstico da acuidade visual, 9.640 escolares de primeira e quarta séries da rede pública de ensino fundamental de Sorocaba, Estado de São Paulo, no ano 2000, foram analisados e classificados seus registros segundo sexo, série, uso de óculos, área de residência e grau de acesso à assistência médica supletiva. Foram realizados testes de correlação de Pearson e análise de regressão linear. RESULTADOS: A população estudada apresentou prevalência de baixa acuidade visual de 13,1% (IC 95%=12,5-13,8%), sendo significantemente menor no sexo masculino (11,5%) quando comparado ao feminino (14,9%) - (RP=0,77); significantemente maior nos escolares de primeira série (14,1%) quando comparados aos de quarta série (11,5%) - (RP=1,22); e significantemente menor em não-usuários de óculos (12,1%) quando comparados aos usuários (42,0%) - (RP=0,29). Dentre os locais estudados, o bairro de Cajuru apresentou a menor prevalência de baixa acuidade visual (1,8%) e o bairro de Vila Sabiá a maior prevalência (32,4%). Foi encontrada correlação positiva, segundo a área de residência entre a proporção de indivíduos que têm acesso à assistência médica supletiva e a proporção de usuários de óculos (r=0,64, pUniversidade de São Paulo.
